Nomination Request 
For Honorary Degrees 

St John’s College at the University of Manitoba invites nominations for the following Honorary Degrees and Fellowship: 

1. Doctor of Divinity (honoris causa) 
Recipients of this degree have always been ordained but not always Anglican. Recognizes distinguished service to the Church (sometimes in ecumenical settings) and outstanding contributions to St John's College. 

2. Doctor of Divinity (jure dignitatis) 
For a graduate of the College holding the office of Bishop in the Anglican Church of Canada, or in any Church in full communion therewith. 

3. Doctor of Canon Law (honoris causa) 
Instituted in 1964 this degree is to be conferred on both clerics and lay people. The first criterion for conferral is genuine distinction in the recipient's field of endeavour or fields of endeavours. These fields may be as varied as those of the Marjorie Ward lecturers. Genuine distinction should be more than mere excellence. In some cases distinction may be achieved cumulatively, by combining greatly varied accomplishments of less than great distinction but of excellence over a lifetime. The second criterion for conferral is that the recipient's distinction is directly relevant to and/or related to: 
(a) the college's academic programme; 
(b) the college's Anglican heritage; 
(c) the University of Manitoba's academic programme; 
(d) the community of greater Winnipeg or the province of Manitoba." 

4. Honorary Fellow 
Recipients are selected from people who are distinguished contributors to the Church, Country or to the College and University life in General. We appreciate your help in making our honorary degrees significant in recognizing achievement, and in establishing the College’s interest in accomplishments of various kinds.
